Because Cuba is a communist country, we must avoid using social media to specify exact places, names, etc. for the protection of Bold Hope and our Cuban partner’s long-term vision of ministry. Additionally, Cuba is Spanish-speaking, so recruiting Spanish-speaking team members will not only connect your team more deeply with the local people, but the locals will respect that an effort was made to learn Spanish and/or bring Spanish speakers along.
We ask that trip participants do not wear shorts that are too short - they must at least reach your fingertips. Tank tops should be modest, fully covering bra straps. Sneakers should be worn when out in the community or on work projects. Sandals/flip flops are okay during free time. Swimsuits should be one-piece or tankinis that completely cover your stomach.
For church, women should wear dresses or skirts that reach the knee with shoulders covered and men should wear slacks with a collared shirt (short- or long-sleeved).

Cuba is in the Eastern Time Zone.
